Time for a Brown's Camp Ride!
(AKA: Roger's Camp) 

JD & I hear this trail has come out from under its snow blanket and is ready for riding. Several folks have e-mailed us that they've ridden it over the last two weeks and it is in pristine condition! The long weekend will give us time for a Monday recovery.

Well, trying to get out and ride.  Requested some info from some longview guys for Stella or Growlers and downloaded a bunch of data.  We can decide at the Gateway Transit center at 9:00am where we want to go.  Siouxon is another option too.
